Their newborn daughter has been diagnosed with VATER Syndrome. They are hours away from their family and friends, and are basically watching their daughter fight for her life.
This beautiful angel is a true fighter! She has been through multiple surgeries, and still has a long way to go. She defied the odds, and was able to breathe on her own over the weekend. They are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Speech Pathologist who will begin working with Addison on eating from a bottle. That will take her one step closer to being able to go home.
The MOST wonderful news update was that her parents were able to hold her for the first time on Saturday! Can you imagine NOT being able to hold your baby in your arms for the first three weeks of her life?Addison is still not out of the woods, but she is making tremendous strides. When she IS able to come home, she will be surrounded by an amazing extended family. Not to mention the BEST mom and dad a girl could ask for:)
Thanks for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers. Things are always better when we stick together!

Saying the prayers as we speak and may I also say that's one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen, and I'm not just saying that. Striking, especially for one so young. That is one very special baby.
She is beautiful. She will be in my prayers.
What am amazing family! My heart goes out to them, as well as my hopes and prayers. May an abundance of faith surround them all.
No I can't imagine! Will pray. It's sweet of you to get the word out.
She is so beautiful. I am praying for her right this second. I am thankful they have a church family to stand by them in this time of distress!
I said a prayer for her tonight. She is so beautiful, such pretty skin. I can't imagine what they are going through.

I've been praying for baby Addison. I hope she is doing well! God bless!
I will pray not only for little Addison, but for her parents also. Also for the Lord to bless her doctors with the knowledge of the exact right thing to do for her.
Oh, what a challenge for them! I know this post was a while ago, but I will still keep Addison and her family in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad they have people like you in their church to support them!
